LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Coming back again with the LEGO 2025 rumors, one that really stands out that was just reported about from different sources is that we could be getting LEGO One Piece sets. There will be five sets released next summer and will be based on the Netflix series. This rumor is way out there in left field and I’m highly skeptical of it but I’ll be overjoyed if it is true and no doubt that the Going Merry ship will be one of the sets and will feature many of the pirates.
The LEGO Classic Space theme returns in 2025 and we get a reimagining of the Blacktron Renegade (10355). Releasing on January 1, the set has 1,151 pieces and will retail for $99.99. It is an updated version of the Renegade (6954) from 1987 which has some advancements like the planet-rover drop pod and some wing-mounted speeders. The set can also be rebuilt into an updated Alienator from 1988.
Rediscover the excitement of classic LEGO® space sets with the LEGO Icons Blacktron Renegade (10355) model building kit for adults. This upscaled modular version of the iconic 1980s spaceship incorporates modern enhancements that will captivate fans of the beloved LEGO classic.
The asymmetric Blacktron Renegade spaceship is recreated in a modular design with new features, including a planet-rover drop pod, landing gear, 2 wing-mounted space speeders and 2 engine energy canisters. The model comes with 3 Blacktron minifigures and a droid figure, and it can be rebuilt, via online building instructions, into an enhanced version of the 1980s LEGO Alienator.
Come this January, we have the smallest LEGO DC set in the wave with Batman & Batmobile vs. Mr. Freeze (76301). The set has 63 pieces and retails for $19.99.
Even though I don’t cover LEGO rumors that much anymore, this one definitely caught my eye. Rumor insider fateful_04 has reported that we could be getting a $1,000 LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75419) which would be the fall exclusive. Obviously, that would make it the first LEGO set to hit the $1,000 price point at retail and could possibly be another set to have over 10,000 pieces.
Now the question is which Death Star would it be and would it be a static sphere or a playset like with the most recent version which retired in 2020. Let the speculation begin!
The newest LEGO Ideas set on the market is The Botanical Garden (21353) which has 3,792 pieces and retails for a whopping $329.99. Let’s take a deeper look to see if it is actually worth that price.
If you’re looking for a deal on the LEGO Marvel X-Men X-Jet (76281), Walmart has dropped the price on it by 25%. It is now listed for $63.76 which saves you $21.23 on it. When it was it initially released, many fans criticized that the 359 piece set was overpriced. We probably won’t be seeing a 50% discount on it so any deal on this set could be worth it. I believe this is the first time I’ve seen it discounted.

LEGO’s current and probably final promotion of the year is the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Picture Frame (40702) which you get until December 24 with purchases of $70. The build has 209 pieces and it features a functional decorative frame.
The front of the frame has a little winter scene that includes a mini gingerbread house, Santa’s sleigh, a Christmas tree, and a snowman. On the frame itself, there are some Christmas bells in one of the corners.
The main feature here is the picture frame itself that you can put a standard 4×6 picture. There are four 1×2 plates that secure the picture in the frame. Another feature is that you can either display the frame horizontally or vertically.
I don’t have any pictures laying around and this was the only thing that I had available at the time.
The LEGO Seasonal Christmas Picture Frame (40702) is one of the more tamer gift with purchase sets in recent years. It’s not as flashy as like the vignette sets but it’s a nice festive thing you can use yearly and it doesn’t really break the bank to get it.
Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the company. Review sets sent in does not guarantee a positive review.
